Since it is Friday, I am once again reminding you that I am running for CA Assembly District 72, and that my solemn pledge not to use any campaign funds to eat excessive amounts of tortellinis remains in effect.

These are personal tortellinis.

Back to this one, it is important to note that one of his coaches once said to me, “He only likes to score goals.”

He’s a HS Brennan Johnson.

I never knew Johnny Cash was considered uncool by anyone...

This is a revelation or it makes me feel like I've slipped into the upside down...maybe both.

'Alive in the Catacombs' has been a constant companion since it came out.

The arrangements are eerie and beautiful.

I'll share this one again.

Enforcing antitrust laws is one necessity for getting out of this right wing hellscape we live in now.

Nice one from @rbreich.bsky.social and Lina Khan.
